I’ve had dogs in the past and I’m so excited to be around them and love them again! if your dog loves to exercise, I’ll have no problem running with them.

About: I have owned and been around dogs and cats my whole life. I started out working with small animals when I volunteered at the Connecticut Audubon Society when I was a child and teenager. I also worked at PetSmart in the their Pet Hotel doing doggy daycare. While there, I walked, fed, cleaned up after, and watched over groups of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have also volunteered with Protectors of Animals at their cat shelter for about 2 years now. I have worked with cats of all ages and temperaments. My schedule is very open at the moment. I am able to check up on animals multiple times throughout a weekday and am also available on weekends. I am available to take care of pets in your home, whether you just need me to feed them and let them out a few times a day, or if your pet needs someone to stay with them for longer periods of time. I have reliable transportation in case of emergency. I am comfortable giving pills, but I am not trained on giving injections.

About: I have years of experience dog-sitting and cat-sitting for friends and clients, often staying at their homes to make sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. My friends trust me to care for their pets as if they were my own, and I'm committed to providing the best care possible! My schedule allows me to visit or walk your pet before and after work, Monday to Thursday (I work from 9 am to 5 pm) and Friday (I work remotely from 9 am to 12 pm). I am also available on weekends, Friday to Sunday, for pet sitting, so your pet will have plenty of attention and care even if you're away for an extended period! With years of experience in dog-sitting and cat-sitting, I understand the importance of creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I follow a consistent routine, ensuring pets feel secure and comfortable, and I take precautions to maintain a safe space within your home. I'm committed to reliable communication, sharing updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. By allowing each pet to approach me at their own pace, I foster trust and a positive bond, ensuring they feel comfortable and relaxed in my presence. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities.

About: I’ve successfully helped take care of all types of animals for over 15 years. For me animals are family and not a burden at all Pet care is my main priority. I am fully available to tend to your needs whether it be last minute or a week in advance!:) I have 1200 sq ft of space and a fenced backyard. I’m right next to a nature center and have plenty of love to provide to your animals :)

About: I have a Yorkshire Terrier who is becoming a senior dog. I have cared and walked multiple dogs of various ages for about 3 years now. I am currently an unemployed college student, so taking care of both cats and dogs is my part and full time job depending on the day. I never want to do something that the owner doesn’t like, so I always make sure to follow instructions provided by the owner for their pets safety. No matter what, I always make sure to keep the owner updated on anything positive or negative. Just like putting packages away if there is any, I like to do the smallest things to ensure that not only the owners pets are safe, but to make sure their place is perfect too!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful puppies to mellow seniors. I understand that every pet has a unique temperament and routine, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I tailor my care to your pet’s specific needs. What sets me apart is my calm, patient nature and close attention to detail. I’m experienced with senior pets, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications if needed. I also enjoy working with shy or nervous animals, helping them feel more at ease with consistency and positive reinforcement. You can count on me to treat your pets like family and keep you updated every step of the way! I’m a graduate student with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the summer. I work part-time on weekends, which means I’m available most weekdays for a midday walk or company throughout the day. I don’t have any pets at home, so your pet will get my full attention when they’re with me. While my yard is not fenced in, I always take dogs on leashed walks around the neighborhood, to the dog park, or bring them along on pet-friendly hikes for extra exercise and enrichment. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I prioritize their safety and comfort. I follow your instructions closely and maintain a calm, consistent environment. You can expect regular updates and plenty of love and care while you're away!

Nicole J.
“Nicole is my dog Mason’s favorite person: Dog’s breed (Collie/Australian Sheppard Mix) so you can get a sense of size. He’s super affectionate and Nicole reciprocated the love he was giving her with patience; petting him with love like our family does at home. As a younger dog (one year) he gets so excited and jumps up to greet people like a hug and Nicole did not push him or have any negative reaction which I appreciated. I still reach out to her to this day for anytime I need an extra hand. I never doubt care with Nicole! - Thank you! (Love Mason)”

Catherine has worked with me for a couple years for daily dog walking and extended overnights stays. Often I’ve have more than one dog at a time which Catherine handles with pleasure. I highly recommend Catherine to provide excellent care for your animals.”
